The 2017 Armagh Senior Football Championship is the 117th official edition of Armagh GAA's premier gaelic football competition for senior clubs and was won by Armagh Harps. The tournament consisted of 16 teams with the winner, Armagh Harps receiving the Gerry Fegan Cup and representing Armagh in the Ulster Senior Club Football Championship.
The championship has a backdoor format for the first two rounds where any team to lose two matches will be eliminated before proceeding to a knock-out format.
Maghery Seán McDermott's were the defending champions after they defeated St. Patrick's Cullyhanna in the 2016 final.
This was Culloville Blues and Whitecross' return to the senior grade after they claimed the 2016 I.A.F.L. and I.F.C. titles respectively.
Wolfe Tones and Culloville Blues are relegated to the I.F.C. and I.A.F.L. for 2018 after they finished 7th and 8th in the S.B.F.L. respectively. They will be replaced by the I.F.C. champions Killeavy St Moninna's as well as the I.A.F.L. champions Silverbridge Harps.
